Thor Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Hello there internet. i've brewed a Stormcast list aimed for a tournament using the new Generals handbook. Most of the list is salvage from my old list which did fairly well in the meta against skyfires etc. The biggest change to the list is the Allies, which is.. well Skinks. as many as i could fit in. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the list. if there is any glaring mistakes or weaknesses. and in general your thoughts. Open to all Comments. you can be as Honest as you'd like. Allegiance: Stormcast EternalsLeadersLord-Celestant On Stardrake (560)- General- Celestine Hammer- Trait: Staunch Defender - Artefact: Mirrorshield - Stardrake Trait: Keen-clawedLord-Castellant (100)Lord-Relictor (80)- Prayer: Lightning ChariotBattleline40 x Skinks (200)- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers40 x Skinks (200)- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers5 x Judicators (160)- Skybolt Bows- 1x Shockbolt Bows- Stormcast Eternals Battleline5 x Judicators (160)- Skybolt Bows- 1x Shockbolt Bows- Stormcast Eternals Battleline5 x Liberators (100)- Warhammers- 1x GrandhammersUnits2 x Tempestors (220)2 x Tempestors (220)Total: 2000/2000 The most obvious weakness is magic. Dracothian guard and Stardrake will melt away to mortal wounds caused by it. . Otherwise it should have great staying power. and mobility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Just curious... but why the skinks? What's the role they will fulfill? Just numbers for the scenarios? *not a stormcast player but your allies choice caught my eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURF1 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 You are not the first one to have this thought my friend. And Kramer, Stormcasts biggest issue is that they lack bodies and skinks are actually amazing now. 200pts for 40 is an absolute steal. Expect a run on skinks in the near future.

With the little playtesting ive done with them they just seem to perform very well points wise. They are objective grappers that can shoot. Disrupt, tank, deal damage. Seriously. If you compare this unit at 200 points to any other and you throw the mathhammer at it they will win. I actually considered running bless weapon prayer. Seeing as they get a +2 to hit innately. Might actually do some work. Although. In the allies section. There are other options to help me deal with wizards. A battlewizard for example would help out against magic. Mystic shield is also good And a bloodwrack shrine would help against hordes. That said. I'm open for suggestions ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
